I don’t understand this issue. Do people actually think Obama is not really a citizen of the US or that his bc shows embarrasing things on it?
Despite any evidence to actually support that conclusion, some posters on FR actually do believe that Obama is trying to cover up the fact that he is Constitutionally ineligible to be President.
The "evidence" so far is a legitimate Hawaii birth certificate that some people will do anything to believe is a fake, and an unsubstantiated claim that Obama's Kenyan grandmother said that he was born there.
Other people have tried to make the argument that because Obama was, at one point, a dual citizen of the US and Kenya, he does not meet the Constitutional requirements for the Presidency (even though dual citizenship is perfectly legal under US law and the Constitution does not mention it as a bar to the Presidency).
The reason the GOP is not taking this issue on is because it has all been brought by democrats.
I used to not believe there was anything to this.
I have changed my mind. Obama could end all of this by supplying the credentials that McCain has already supplied.
I am going to sit back and see if it unfolds.
Some people (probably a quarter of Freerepublic crowd) believe that the birth certificate issue is legit. Based on what I’ve seen and read....I think there are two birth certificates. The first one was retired in some fashion. The second, my belief based on limited evidence...has some data or info which conflicts with his announced history (I think it was a renaming to “Barry” but thats just my opinion). The second one had to be doctored a bit...before public release. Hillary should have found this all out...which she apparently kept quiet about or just never found.
If this does come out in twelve months...in the worst case scenario...it rigs up a constitutional crisis if he refuses to resign (which I think he would).
“Do people actually think Obama is not really a citizen “
Yep. Rumor has it that he was born in Kenya because his mother was trying to get to Hawaii but the airlines denied her passage as she was too pregnant. She went to Hawaii after the birth then registered him as a live birth. Anyone at any time can register a person as a live birth but that is not a birth certificate valid for citizenship.
